Why Maplestory players play League?

Hey, guys!

Oh, it's just a thought I had these days. Like, I see a couple of youtubers and some guys out there that play Maplestory, but they play League of Legends as well other games, like Pokemon or Tree of Savior, Blade and Soul, etc...

Like, it's that a tendency or do you guys play these games because other guys play'em too?

Idk if you will understand me, but anyway, thanks for your time and happy mapling

Oh, guys, thanks for the replies!

I just thought about this because all of the Maplestory streamers/youtubers play league, maplestory and/or pokemon. That sounds prejudicied to me.

Also some guys out here play them too, so I thought this is a tendency

Anyway, everything was explained, so thanks!

because they're both free, and require little to no skill to have fun

I'm sure a part of the reason is the fact that it's also free like Maple. However, it's pay for cosmetics in League whereas in Maplestory, it's a mix of cosmetics and in game strength.

Most people choose the "in" thing just like everything in real life in order to be in the "cool crowd." So people bandwagon those type of things in order to be "cool."

I don't think they're playing those games because they play Maple, they play them because they're fun / popular games.

Yeah League is just the most popular game ATM.

I think it just has to do with the fact that League of Legends is a popular game, so of course there's a lot of overlap. Same goes for Pokemon.

@dliu456: I'm not using Google Translate I lol'd with that

It's just because I'm not 100% good at english, and I never EVER had an english class or teacher, I just learned english playing games, listening music, watching some american youtubers... so yeah, I'm autodidact not 100% tho

@markred626: He's Brazilian so English is most likely not his first language and is maybe using Google Translate and everyone knows how wonky that is.

The way you are wording the words is so confusing

I don't play any of this games, but I'm planning to play Tree of Savior when it comes to Brazil. I can understand why players enjoy League, but idk Seems like an preconception, "all of Maplestory players play League too", that's what I'm talking about

Anyway, thanks for the reply!

I don't play League, but I can understand that other Maplers enjoy it.
